Don't blame you, Craig. I find the Salisbury mud can be like concrete and it takes me ages to wash it off my 110 each time we do the 'Plain. Si. <This is my name.

Hi Craig - How did the Parabolics cope with the rough stuff? Good articulation and ride comfort on the bumpy stuff? African Bush Junkie ... in London!

I can't comment for Craig, but my own personal experience is that a well-sorted parabolic arrangement can compare very favourably with a coil setup.

The car worked very well indeed, we went with 4 D3's a D4 and a FL2 and i think the Santana held it's own admirably. Even pulling a D3 up one of the grassy muddy hills... The Santana did most of the day in 2WD only going into 4WD on really slippery hilly sections which really suprised us. Could drive straight and true in 2WD whilst the D3's were slip sliding in terrain modes! It felt just as comfortable as my D2 o ff road which quite suprised me... Craig |
